quadro vs geforce

I have been using SolidWorks since 2000, the biggest hardware related problems and unexpected crashes are mostly graphics card related. During that time I've contracted my services to a variety of companies the ones who have the most crashes are the ones trying to save a few dollars on hardware. The lower price of Geforce will not compensate for the downtime and the shear frustration they will cause.

Having said all that, if you're using your home licence and don't need to be that productive, save a few bucks install the Geforce and then when SolidWorks crashes you can play 3d Games instead.
